Gosh I would never have associated these. I enjoy gardens but never really thought much about them until recently as I’m currently planning a major home move where I am actively seeking a garden in the main for my cats, but reading this I think I could certainly benefit as well. Thank you for the inspiration.
My pleasure! Love that you’re thinking about it this way. A garden really does give back more than we expect, for you and your cats. Hope the move goes smoothly and you find the perfect spot!
Just came in from tidying up my front bed and dumping some winter boughs in the compost. I have my peppers and tomatoes doing well in my indoor setup. I am tired and sweaty and my back is not great but so happy. We are still expecting some snow on Sunday ( boo) so will enjoy the rest of 20c and sun today.
Sounds like a productive (and tiring) day in the garden. Nothing beats that kind of work, even if your back disagrees a bit. Glad to hear your peppers and tomatoes are thriving indoors. Enjoy that sunshine while it lasts, hopefully the snow holds off a little longer!
I will be growing a flower bed full of zinnias, marigolds, bee balm, black eyed Susan- I’ll also be trying a container garden one for tomatoes the other for cucumbers
That sounds beautiful, Cindy. Zinnias and marigolds are such a cheerful mix, and tomatoes and cucumbers in containers are a great idea. You’ve got a lovely season ahead!
I love this! Our family owned a small nursing home and our residents gardened! We even had folks recover enough health to return home. My mother is 92 and I am 70. We competitively garden. Her asparagus is first up, but my lettuce is! It’s just marvelous how research supports what we intuitively know —- we are meant to move, work, and think regardless of age!

Love it! Love it! Love it! My wife gardens and she's getting smarter than me every day! I better get started!
Love it, Maurice! Sounds like your wife is setting the bar high, you’d better get planting :)

So true. I love that you and your mother competitively garden. What a great example that staying active and engaged really does matter at every age!
